“Da dove viene questa parola?”
“Kiswahili,” dico.
“E lo Swahili da dove l'ha presa in prestito?”
Non lo so.
“Dal portoghese,” dice Ngũgĩ . "Le lingue funzionano così. Si prestano parole a vicenda.”

Ngugi Wa Thiong’o: The Language of Languages: Reflections on Translation
"Through his many critically acclaimed novels, stories, essays, plays, and memoirs, Kenyan writer Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o has been at the forefront of world literature for decades. He has also been, in his own words, “a language warrior,” fighting for indigenous African languages to find their rightful place in the literary world."
